Abstract

The present invention discloses an interactive mosaic video channel displayed on a video monitor, with a plurality of individual video feeds being presented at a given time, comprising a plurality of video cells presenting at least video information, each video cell associated with one of the plurality of individual video feeds, a text box, a background video, and a cursor, which can be moved between the plurality of video cells, for selecting at least one characteristic associated with a selected video cell, such that the user can then directly select a video program associated with the selected video cell. The video channel can optionally include a barker cell that presents additional video and audio information that can also be selected by the cursor, the plurality of video cells being grouped by genre, a dynamic ticker, and the at least one characteristic associated with a selected video cell is the audio associated with that video cell.

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS Received by the International Bureau on 27 Septembre 2007 (27.09.2007)

2. The interactive matrixed video channel of claim 1, further comprising a barker cell that presents additional video and audio information that is also selectable by the cursor.
3. The interactive matrixed video channel of claim 2, wherein the plurality of video cells are grouped by genre.
4, The interactive matrixed video channel of claim 3, further comprising a dynamic ticker.
32
5. The interactive matrixed video channel of claim 4, wherein the at least one characteristic associated with a selected video cell is the audio associated with that video cell,
6. An interactive video channel displayed on a monitor, with a plurality of individual video feeds being presented at a given time, comprising: a plurality of video cells presenting at least video information, each video cell associated with one of the plurality of individual video feeds, each individual video feed being associated with a viewer channel such that multiple viewer channel video feeds are presented at a given time on the interactive matrixed video channel; and a cursor, which can be moved between the plurality of video cells, for selecting at least one characteristic associated with a selected video cell.
7. The interactive video channel of claim 6, further comprising a barker cell that presents additional video and audio information.
8. The interactive video channel of claim 7, further comprising a text box displayed on the video monitor.
9. The interactive video channel of claim 8, wherein the interactive video channel has a default setting.
10. The interactive video channel of claim 9, wherein the default setting is an audio portion of the barker cell.
11. The interactive video channel of claim 10, wherein the cursor changes the default setting,
33
18. An interactive video channel displayed on a monitor, with a plurality of individual video feeds being presented at a given time, comprising: a plurality of video cells presenting at least video information, each video cell associated with one of the plurality of individual video feeds, each individual video feed being associated with a viewer channel such that multiple viewer channel video feeds are presented at a given time on the interactive matrixed video channel, wherein the plurality of individual video feeds are grouped by genre; and a cursor, which can be moved between the plurality of video cells, for selecting at least one characteristic associated with a selected video cell.
19 The interactive video channel of claim 18 wherein when the cursor selects one of the plurality of video cells as the selected video cell, the monitor presents an audio portion associated with the selected video cell.
20. The interactive video channel of claim 19, wherein when the cursor selects one of the plurality of video cells as the selected video cell, the selected video cell is individually selectable for viewing on the monitor.
